BUT NOT SONGS | Walli Höfinger (50 Minuten)
A personal, poetical, musical lecture performance about voice
The Wild. Is that only an idea or a concept or a reality? The Wild seems to be underrepresented in our society. There is hardly any space to express ourselves outside of forms that are within our culture. I imagine voice as creature, with its own presence and identity. Many creatures live in one voice, many voices live in one self. The Wild: Is it the unknown in our own being? The unknown in our selves? A connection which is physical, mental emotional all at once. The voice identifies the mobility of our own inner life. The voice talks about our simultaneous existence in different worlds and that we don’t know, where the journey is going.

BUT NOT SONGS is an interdisciplinary lecture performance including vocal and piano compositions, movement, and text, written and performed by Walli Höfinger, consulted by Jonathan Hart-Makwaia. BUT NOT SONGS was co-produced with and presented at the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart, France in 2017 . Since many years Walli Höfinger has been engaged in the voice work of the “Centre Artistique International Roy Hart” of France, examining the roots of vocal expression from raw primal sounds to the traditional singing voice. In recent years she has been exploring this medium as a source for musical, physical and theatrical creation together with Jonathan Hart-Makwaia. Walli Höfinger and Jonathan Hart began their artistic collaborations in 2010. 2012 they produced the perfomance BIRDSONG together with Christiane Hommelsheim. BUT NOT SONGS is their second collaboration. Irene Mattioli helped to bring the composition into space.
NICHTS | Pamela Zottele (45 Minuten)
Eine Stimmperformance
Ausgehend von der dringlichen Frage nach dem Nichts beschäftigt sich Pamela mit dem Kern des Seins. Was ist, wenn nichts ist? Was ist das Nichts? Ist das Nichts ein Abgrund oder eine Quelle neuen Lebens? Wo sind die Grenzen zwischen Nichts und Etwas? Wann ist Leben und wann Tod? Verschiedene Erscheinungsformen und Wirkungen des Nichts werden erforscht. Hierfür schöpft Pamela aus ihrer eigenen Geschichte, ihrer schweizerischen Herkunft und ihrem Werdegang als Bühnenpersönlichkeit. Sie findet bei Friedrich Hölderlin eine essentielle Aussage, die gehört werden will.

Pamela Zottele
ist staatlich anerkannte Bühnendarstellerin.
Sie ist vielseitig im Umgang mit ihrer eigenen Stimme, sowohl als auch in ihrer Arbeit als Stimmcoach. „Das Feld der menschlichen Stimme ist sehr groß und hochinteressant. Es gibt so viel zu entdecken.“ Zwei Hauptrichtungen sind für Pamela unverzichtbar. Die Stimmarbeit, welche die Persönlichkeit und die Freiheit im Umgang mit der eigenen Stimme in den Fokus nimmt, und die stimmbildende, physiologische Seite. „Diese beiden Herangehensweisen sind für mich unverzichtbar und ergänzen sich hervorragend.“ Pamela strebt stets nach persönlicher und künstlerischer Weiterentwicklung. Ihre erste eigene Performance ist ein Produkt davon.
